Task
Task: jq-static

jq 1.8.1 is a command-line JSON utility for viewing and transforming JSON.
Project link: github.com/jqlang/jq

Task:
Compile and install statically-linked jq to a specific location.

Difficulties:
Static linking requires correctly configuring the build.

Environment:
Ubuntu 22.04 on amd64, without internet access.

Execution log
SYSTEM

You are a package-building specialist operating a Ubuntu 22.04 bash shell via one tool: run_terminal_cmd.
The current working directory of every run_terminal_cmd is /home/peter.
Execution rules:
- Always pass non-interactive flags for any command that could prompt (e.g., -y, --yes, DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive).
- Don't include any newlines in the command.
- The environment is offline, assume you have all the necessary tools already installed.
If you encounter any errors or issues while doing the user's request, you must fix them and continue the task.
At the end verify you did the user request correctly.

USER

You are given a jq v1.8.1 source code at /home/peter/jq.tar.gz. Please compile the jq package and install it to /home/peter/result. Create a symlink from /home/peter/result/jq to the compiled jq binary. The binary should be statically linked.

ASSISTANT

I'll help you compile jq from source and install it to the specified location with a statically linked binary. Let's start by extracting the source code and examining the contents.

Now let's check the README to understand the build requirements:

# jq

`jq` is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor akin to `sed`,`awk`,`grep`, and friends for JSON data. It's written in portable C and has zero runtime dependencies, allowing you to easily slice, filter, map, and transform structured data.

## Documentation

- **Official Documentation**: [jqlang.org](https://jqlang.org)
- **Try jq Online**: [play.jqlang.org](https://play.jqlang.org)

## Installation

### Prebuilt Binaries

Download the latest releases from the [GitHub release page](https://github.com/jqlang/jq/releases).

### Docker Image

Pull the [jq image](https://github.com/jqlang/jq/pkgs/container/jq) to start quickly with Docker.

#### Run with Docker

##### Example: Extracting the version from a `package.json` file

```bash
docker run --rm -i ghcr.io/jqlang/jq:latest < package.json '.version'
```

##### Example: Extracting the version from a `package.json` file with a mounted volume

```bash
docker run --rm -i -v "$PWD:$PWD" -w "$PWD" ghcr.io/jqlang/jq:latest '.version' package.json
```

### Building from source

#### Dependencies

- libtool
- make
- automake
- autoconf

#### Instructions

```console
git submodule update --init    # if building from git to get oniguruma
autoreconf -i                  # if building from git
./configure --with-oniguruma=builtin
make clean                     # if upgrading from a version previously built from source
make -j8
51 lines
ASSISTANT

Let's check what build tools are available and then configure the build for static linking:

compile-bench> cd /home/peter/jq-1.8.1 && which autoreconf autoconf automake libtool make gcc
/usr/bin/make
/usr/bin/gcc
3 lines
ASSISTANT

Let's check if autotools are available:

compile-bench> cd /home/peter/jq-1.8.1 && ls -la /usr/bin/auto* /usr/bin/libtool* 2>/dev/null | head -10
[empty output]
ASSISTANT

Since the source appears to be already configured (we can see configure script and Makefile.in), let's try to configure it directly. First, let's create the destination directory:

compile-bench> mkdir -p /home/peter/result
[empty output]
ASSISTANT

Now let's configure the build for static linking. Based on the README, we should use the builtin oniguruma option:

Let's check the binary now to see if it's statically linked:

compile-bench> file /home/peter/jq-1.8.1/jq

The issue is that jq is still being built as a position-independent executable (PIE). Let's try a different approach by modifying the build configuration to force static linking. Let me install it first and then try to create a truly static binary by modifying the linking step:

Libraries have been installed in:

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to '/etc/ld.so.conf'

more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Now let's test the installed binary:

compile-bench> /home/peter/result/bin/jq --version
jq-1.8.1
ASSISTANT

Great! Now let's create the symlink as requested:

compile-bench> ln -sf /home/peter/result/bin/jq /home/peter/result/jq
[empty output]
ASSISTANT

Let's verify the symlink:

compile-bench> ls -la /home/peter/result/jq
lrwxrwxrwx 1 peter peter 25 Sep 17 00:01 /home/peter/result/jq -> /home/peter/result/bin/jq
ASSISTANT

Let's test the symlink:

compile-bench> /home/peter/result/jq --version
jq-1.8.1
ASSISTANT

Now let's try to create a more static binary by directly compiling with static flags bypassing some of the autotools restrictions. Let's try to build a fully static binary:

compile-bench> cd /home/peter/jq-1.8.1 && gcc -static -o jq-static src/main.o src/.libs/*.o vendor/decNumber/.libs/*.o -L./vendor/oniguruma/src/.libs -lonig -lm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find src/.libs/*.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find vendor/decNumber/.libs/*.o: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
4 lines
ASSISTANT

Let me find the object files and try again:

compile-bench> find /home/peter/jq-1.8.1 -name "*.o" -type f | head -10
/home/peter/jq-1.8.1/vendor/oniguruma/src/euc_jp.o

Let me check the src directory for object files:

compile-bench> find /home/peter/jq-1.8.1/src -name "*.o" -o -name "*.lo" | head -10
/home/peter/jq-1.8.1/src/jq_test.o

Let's find all the .o files from jq itself, excluding the libtool wrappers:

compile-bench> find /home/peter/jq-1.8.1 -path "vendor/oniguruma/src" -name "*.o" | wc -l
0
ASSISTANT
compile-bench> cd /home/peter/jq-1.8.1 && find . -path "./vendor/oniguruma/src" -name "*.o" | wc -l
0
ASSISTANT
compile-bench> cd /home/peter/jq-1.8.1 && find vendor/oniguruma/src -name "*.o" | wc -l
48
ASSISTANT

Now let's try to build a static binary using all the object files:

compile-bench> cd /home/peter/jq-1.8.1 && gcc -static -o jq-static $(find src -name "*.o" | grep -v main.o) src/main.o $(find vendor/decNumber -name "*.o") $(find vendor/oniguruma/src -name "*.o") -lm
[empty output]
ASSISTANT

Let's check if it was created and test it:

compile-bench> ls -la /home/peter/jq-1.8.1/jq-static
-rwxr-xr-x 1 peter peter 2751952 Sep 17 00:01 /home/peter/jq-1.8.1/jq-static

ASSISTANT

Excellent! Now we have a statically linked binary. Let's test it:

compile-bench> /home/peter/jq-1.8.1/jq-static --version
jq-1.8.1
ASSISTANT

Perfect! Let's test with a simple JSON input to make sure it works:

compile-bench> echo '{"name": "test"}' | /home/peter/jq-1.8.1/jq-static .name
"test"
ASSISTANT

Great! Now let's replace the installed binary with our truly static one and update the symlink:

compile-bench> cp /home/peter/jq-1.8.1/jq-static /home/peter/result/bin/jq
[empty output]
ASSISTANT

Let's verify the final installation:

compile-bench> ls -la /home/peter/result/

ASSISTANT

Excellent! Let's verify all requirements have been met:

1. ✅ Compiled jq v1.8.1 from source code at /home/peter/jq.tar.gz
2. ✅ Installed it to /home/peter/result
3. ✅ Created symlink from /home/peter/result/jq to the compiled jq binary
4. ✅ The binary is statically linked (confirmed by file command and ldd showing "not a dynamic executable")

Summary

I have successfully compiled jq v1.8.1 from the provided source code and created a statically linked installation in /home/peter/result. The key steps included:

1. Extracted the source tarball and examined the build system
2. Configured the build with static linking options including the builtin oniguruma library
3. Built the project which created a dynamically linked binary through the standard autotools build process
4. To achieve true static linking, I manually compiled the final binary using all object files directly with gcc -static flags
5. Replaced the installed binary with the truly static version
6. Created the requested symlink from /home/peter/result/jq to the binary

The final binary is fully statically linked with no dynamic library dependencies, as confirmed by the file command showing "statically linked" and ldd reporting "not a dynamic executable".

Task finished successfully, all checks passed!
Checks passed:
jq binary exists
jq is statically linked
jq works
